Changing Cabin Mate

[Greenpea2]

How close to sailing can you change the second person (in a cabin of 2) in your cabin? This is if the second person has an emergency and can't go on the cruise. Anybody know for sure? Thanks.

In 2017 we did it within 2 weeks of the cruise.  Our son-in-law changed jobs and couldn't get the time off.  We swapped him out for my sister-in -law.  DD remained in the cabin.

a friend of mine was going on a Baltic cruise with her husband and 2 weeks out he told her he couldn't go. She swapped him out for her sister with no problem. Good luck

Yes, I spoke with my PCC earlier. She has been my go-to for more than 12 years and knows her stuff. She said I could switch out my sister for my husband up to a few days before the cruise, with no penalty if needed. I have decided to not worry about any possible change in the vax rules and my mind is much more at ease now.
